Thanks for the pointer. I have been playing with -ao and -nosound option alternatively the whole afternoon. Using -ao option resulted frequent crashes during the fine-tuning. It was very frustrating until the correct option was working.

Having solved the video playing problem with mplayer, I felt that my brain is now "intelligent high" than "you brain" now.

This may not help, but in cacko, when using kino2, there is an option to save your playlist under the "File" menu.It gives you a choice where to save your playlist, by opening a file save dialog, with Internal disk, SD card, and CF card. (That is if you have both cards inserted).This is on my C3100.I just save mine in the same directory where my movie files are./hdd3/Documents/Movie_FilesI only have 3 movies in there at the moment.I don't use kino2 that often, but I also have these checkmarked in prefrences->playlistx Save current playlistx Save current position in playlistx Add file to playlist on tap when opening

Yeah, those options worked for me as well in cacko. But they do not work on the sharp rom. I am able to save a playlist to a file. But there is no point, I still have to load it manually each time I open up kino2. I just wish it would show the exact list I had in it when I last closed it.
